2 bands I like are releasing new albums shortly: Brooklyn's Yeasayer and Portland's Menomena. This is awesome. In fact, it's so awesome that I went off to go and pre-order both albums. "It's 2012," I thought to myself, "surely each band will offer me a lossless audio download option for their new albums. Won't that be nice?"

And so, bands, I implore you: please give me a download-only, lossless-audio option for your albums! I will download them. I will not share them illegally. I will even promote them on my blog to all 5 of my readers. Pretty please?

My plaintive cry to this effect was retweeted by Menomena themselves, and subsequently by many others - telling me I'm not the only one who feels this way. So maybe, one day soon, things will change. In the meantime, you can check out an awesome track from the new Menomena album here, and you can stream the entirety of the new Yeasayer album here, thanks to the good folks at NPR Music.

Why?

This is my place to rant, rave, gush, and whatever other verbs come to mind about the music I love, and the technology I use to find/listen to/share it. It's also a place for me to post my own musical creations for all to enjoy.
